| Message | Mr. Speaker, It isn't difficult for us to promote tolerance through Lodamun's official mandatory religion. We made an error when stating our support, so to clarify: We will support an end to the ban on homosexuals, but we will prefer to uphold the law that only allows members of the official mandatory religion to join the military (to keep consistency with other laws). Essentially, this bill pushes homosexuals into the military while destroying what influence the government has on how we can teach soldiers to be tolerant. If we keep the religion mandatory, we can encourge tolerance through that religion then homosexuals would be safe in the military. This bill kills the tool we can use to promote tolerance, and creates an environment for abuse of homosexuals as the Liberal Party pointed out. -- Kurt Norstavan, Justice Minister |
